If you're reading this blog in order you'll remember we left off with me receiving two parcels in one week. I had photographed Sunbonnet Sue and her buddy Suspender Sam feeling like things were moving along at a pretty good place. That weekend three more ladies jumped in to help. A woman originally from Holland and two ladies from the States.
I made mention of the project at a quilting forum I frequent. It's a forum full of women who often use quilting in a charitable sense. They were all busy with two pretty large projects so I didn't think to ask for their help.
Talk about a life lesson I still need to learn. As my friend Janice is always saying "It's better to ask someone and let them say no than to make the decision for them". She's only been saying that to me for about 4 years. I must have a thick skull if it hasn't sunk in yet. What an example of patience she is!!
So there I was in late Nov. opening more emails from more women ready to join the team. And all of this had happened in less than 2 weeks after the initial email went out.
I've learned that quilters can have any number of UFOs [UnFinished Objects] but the moment something important pops up they make time for it. Talk about perspective! What a lesson in keeping one's priorities straight.
Thank you Susanna, Carole and Sandy for your offer of help. I should have asked in the first place so I doubly appreciate your offers.
